Our seniors celebrated one of their last days at Gray Collegiate this morning with their annual “prank”. They had Dr Newsome’s permission to “decorate” with balloons. Dr Newsome took a short clip to highlight their “fun”. Great job seniors of GCA 2022!!
It’s the little things that matter. Having flag pole signs installed on every light at Gray today. The little touches make the biggest difference.

More and more high school students across the country are taking advantage of the FREE college classes dual enrollment programs provide. Here at GCA we are happy to provide a program that has proven to help alleviate some of the high cost of college.
Gray Collegiate is a tuition-free public charter high school located in West Columbia, where the approach to academics and athletics is different. Interested? January 7th starts 2nd semester and there's is still time to register your student.
